Perfection and The Bible

The Bible says Be Perfect and The Bible says James 4:17 knowing and not doing is sin.

The Bible in Corinthians sets groups of people that practice sin to will not inherit the kingdom of God.

The Bible also says don’t judge, don’t condemn and that factors into and facilitates perfection.

Book of Corinthians is after don’t judge, don’t condemn – yet seems to show condemnation for different types of people.

What is perfection? Is perfection people that invest in Global Warming and Climate change non ideally, or is perfection people that divest from any and all systems that oppress a few for the increased value of many?

There are many more systems than Global Warming and Climate change – and setting precedent for what is and is not perfection, is and is not kosher is consequential – part of why The Bible says don’t judge, don’t condemn.

Cars – will protect all people ideally, or are likely to lead to some deaths from accidents and some deaths from Global Warming?

Roads – will protect all people ideally, or have potential to benefit those that help car companies profit while not giving sidewalks many times for pedestrians?

Electricity – will protect all people ideally, or has potential to cause fire, long term maintenance problems, as well as potential electrocutions?

Precedent matters. We turn up faster processors and computers yet we have also increased global supply chains in mining that is not ideal child labor, children out of mines out. Even if the companies we purchase from don’t use those supply lines, it doesn’t mean turning up the industry and capacity to profit from it is inconsequential. Will everyone that has profited from faster processors go back, throw away all the gains made in times of less than ideal oppression out?

Throughput gains that are not all free of less than ideal oppression have shown precedent overtime for being set as sufficient. Roads Romans built likely paved in blood many times, but they weren’t just removed based upon knowledge the Roman regime was evil and brutal. Though told not to judge, imperialism and nailing people to wood (especially a carpenter) seems evil and brutal to me at least from an assessment standpoint, don’t really want to judge anyone of will burn for eternity.

Mercy for the merciful, and I am part of a society that capitalizes on a system that is not ideal evil out.

What does a Christian that wants to grow perfection and less sin invest in? Less Global Warming, Cars, Roads, Electricity, Computers? Many people drive to Churches in cars where they sit in an air conditioned building provided by electricity, while many times broadcasting to the World using networks and CPUs. The question is, is it perfection, is it sin? We are not be the judge? It might be looked at as hypocrisy, hypocrisy that is seen as sufficient reason not to trust Christ as savior.

It is easier to say less than ideal perfection by global warming, cars, roads, electricity, computers, and many more systems (including a criminal justice system that profits some over others) is just the price of doing business, a non-ideal solution we have to have until we find something better, those perfection losses are just temporary on a pursuit of a better tomorrow. The combination might equate to is less than perfection really sin? Is cutting corners a problem or not a problem?

Able to read this document without a computer? More perfection not to read this document?

I am not sure exactly how to think about it all. If God requires zero sin, perfection to have prayers answered, I am not sure I will get any prayers answered ever. People that don’t think they will see prayers answered might divest from God and Christ. Pray for forgiveness of sins for self and others yet see a society constantly ready to throw stones at each other? Lead us not into temptation vs bars, roads, electricity, and strip clubs? What is the price of collective sin, when The Bible says woe be to the tempters? Seeing a video of tanks not firing, vs tanks firing? I want peace, less war, less people dying – that said tanks are more manly than flowers might less than ideally turn down investment in military budgets.

If I am going to be set to insufficient perfection no matter what I do is that likely to make me more or less generous, more or less likely to believe in Luke 6? “The defeated, dirty little sinner that falls short of perfection has no business thinking God will save them, will hear their prayers in a time of need?” – kind of sounds like what The Devil and Demons might say. If The Devil and Demons get people to believe it, might lead to apathy, won’t try to make things better and positive change. If going to be set to a sinner regardless, does sin really matter that much? Train of logic that has potential to lead to sins people don’t want to invest in in the first place. Your working on fixing global warming but not the problems with child labor? Your working on fixing child labor but not the problems with global warming? Allowing perfection requirement to deadlock fellow Christians into sin does not seem like perfection.

Now if you worked on global warming and are about to pick up a stone to hurt someone – reminders that there are other problems in society that are partially sin “without sin cast the first stone” – Christ seems apt.

Perfection is A let. A let might not be ideal high horse out. Is A let perfection?

Someone that thinks they are A might be less likely to be less A, more sin. “Reminders of fake it till you make it”, “WWJD – what would Jesus do”? Perfection, A, without ability to judge, tell people what they are doing wrong? Correcting without stones not always easy – can’t be everywhere at once, humans required to give punishment have same potential for sin, oppression, and injustice, are not required to factor in collective sins – which calls into question is believing correction, punishment as valuable is possible always A value out?

The combination of words is discouraging and disheartening, which makes me question is sharing it wise at all. That said the words might lead to less injustice, less white horse of justice that leaves fellow citizens in jails and prison. Per Golden Rule I don’t want to be robbed of my Freedom, especially from a society that doesn’t A perfection.

Is someone that sees themselves as perfect, a perfect level of humility? One must always assess self as less than perfect, less than ideal sin out? Can’t help with the mote, got my own beam to worry about. Might not lead to ideal safety messages, protection of others, perfection as a prerequisite. Would say do this don’t do that but I am a partial investor in less than ideal systems so what do I know? Wind out of sails for correcting problems might not lead to ideal investment in fixes.
